Support and care options in County Dublin
What is arranged locally in Dublin, who to contact, and how that differs from the national picture.
Last reviewed: 11 September 2026Verified
Local context
Dublin is covered by four separate local authorities — Dublin City Council, Fingal, South Dublin and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown — so a housing adaptation grant application goes to the authority for the property's address rather than to a single Dublin office.
The HSE lists more than one home support office for the Dublin area, so when you ring, give the person's address and Eircode and ask which office covers it.
Who is responsible locally
- HSE health region
- HSE Dublin and North East / HSE Dublin and South East (verify by address)
- Local authority (housing grants)
- Dublin City Council, Fingal County Council, South Dublin County Council or Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council
Region and authority boundaries are administrative and can change. Confirm with the body itself before relying on this.
